1 Claim.

This invention relates to garment supports. The primary purpose of thepresent invention is to form a garment support for each different unitof a mans suit which will admit of the removal of either unit withoutdisturbing the others, that is to say the coat, vest or trousers may beremoved from the support without disturbing the other garments.

Another feature of the present invention is to arrange the difierentparts of the support so that the coat of the suit shall form a cover forthe vest and trousers thereby permitting storing of the three units ofthe suit in the minimum of space.

Further objects of the invention are to provide a garment support of thecharacter referred to -that lends itself to a formation of wire, thatprovides rollers so that the trousers may be inserted and removed fromthe support with the minimum of effort, that is strong, compact anddurable, and that is comparatively inexpensive to manufacture.

the invention consists of a novel combination, arrangement andconstruction of parts as will be hereafter more specifically describedand illustrated in the accompanying drawing, but it is to be understoodthat changes, variations and modifications may be resorted to withoutdeparting from the spirit of the claim hereunto appended.

In the drawing wherein like reference characters denote correspondingparts throughout the several views:

Figure l is a side elevation of the support in the assembled relationand showing the parts in garment supporting position.

Figure 2 is a view similar to Figure 1 showing the trouser supportingframe folded in preparation for shipping or storage in a suitcase.

Figure 3 is a vertical section taken substantially on line 33 andlooking in the direction of the arrows.

Referring to the drawings in detail, A indicates generally the open coatsupporting frame preferably formed of stout wire. The letter B indicatesthe demountable open vest supporting frame, and indicates the trousersupporting frame swingable on the coat supporting frame as willhereafter appear.

The coat supporting frame includes a horizontal bottom member 5 and ahorizontal top member 6 which latter is parallel with the bottom member.Side members of the coat supporting frame 1, 8 extend inwardly andupwardly join- With the foregoing and other objects in view ting theends of bottom member with the ends of the top member 6. Top member 6 issubstantially less in length than the bottom member 5. The bottom, topand side members of the coat supporting frame all he in the same plane.Side members 7, 8 support the shoulders of the coat.

The shank 9 of the hook in is secured at its lower end to the center oftop member 6 and this hook is used to support the garment support.

The letter D indicates a rest or yoke. This rest is formed of twolongitudinally spaced hook shaped arms H, I2, the shanks of which armsjoin with top member 6 of the coat supporting frame A at their upperends as at I 3, M. The ends of the hook arms join with a straighthorizontal bar l5 to present a unitary support for,

the Vest frame B. It is pointed out that the hook portions of arms i l,l2 are directed outwardly so that the bow in the arms supports the vestframe laterally of the coat frame.

The vest supporting frame B includes a bottom and top rail it, I ldisposed horizontally and parallel with each other. The ends of bottomrail I 6 are joined with the ends of the top rail I! by the side rails i8, [9 which extend inwardly and upwardly from bottom rail I6. The toprail I! of the vest supporting frame B is supported at two spaced pointsby the bow in the arms ll, I2 so that the vest supporting frame B willnot swing endwise although it may rock on the top rail I! as an axis. Inthe vest supporting position, the frame B lies in a plane laterally ofthe coat supporting frame A. It will be seen that the vest supportingframe B may be removed from the coat supporting frame without iemovingthe coat from its supporting frame.

The trouser supporting frame is indicated generally at C and consists ofa U-shaped wire frame made with a horizontal crown or bight portion 20from the opposite ends of which rise the legs 2|, 22. On the free endsof legs 2|, 22 there are formed eyes 23, 24 respectively, and these eyesembrace the free end portions of the bottom member 5 of the coatsupporting frame. On the intervening portion of the bottom member 5 isrotatably supported a continuous metal or wooden roller 25 which coactswith a roller 26 mounted on the crown 20 of the trouser supporting frameC. In between the confronting faces of the rollers 25, 26 there is aspace 21 to accommodate the reception of a pair of trousers when thetrouser supporting frame is in the pendant relation as shown in Figure lof the drawing. By having the pair of rollers 25, 26 coacting with eachother, the trousers may be inserted or removed from the space 21 withthe of effort.-

a hook carried by the top member, a roIier rotatably mounted on anintermediate portion of the bottom member and leaving exposed endsthereon, a pendant trouser frame carrying a rotatable roller which frameis pivoted to said exposed ends so as to swing to folded position forshipping and carrying, and. said roller on the trouser frame spaced fromand coacting with the roller on the coat frame in the pendant relationto support trousers between the rollers. v
